NEARLY EVERYBODY IN NEWBERRY SEES THE SUN iij >> PRINTING S^Gi/aranfe&C^X ^'SOO& VOL. 10; NO. 45 Newberry, South Carolina, Friday, March 19, 1948 $1:50 PER ANNUM By The Way - ■ ■ A week or so ago I wrote in this column something about the Racket Smashers program over WKDK. I sent a copy of the clipping to Bill Slater, mas ter of ceremonies of the pro gram, in New York. In an ac companying letter, I included this paragraph: “We of Carolina think our dale has a beautiful name— and we dislike hearing it mis pronounced. ‘ It isn’t Galina. We may drop our R’s occas ionally, but we pronounce it as if it were spelled Care-O- Lina.” I received a note from Mr. Slater, in which he said: “Thanks ever so much for the clipping—also for your tip on Carolina. Imagina a South erner reminding a Northerner not to drop his ‘r’s’. I am most .appreciative , . . Bill Slater.’’ I hope Mr. Slater remembers this in the future, for he did have an annoying way of say ing “Calina.” * » * I made a trip to Walterboro over the weekend, and fully ex pected to see spring flowers in bloom down there everywhere. I was disappointed. Maybe I didn’t get to the right places, or maybe the homes there have gardens in the back, but no where did I see the yellow, red, pink and white flowers in bloom as they are in Newberry. Wal terboro is a nice little town, and I like it, but the natives there just must not be as int erested in flowers as we in Newberry are. I don’t believe there is any upstate town any prettier than Newberry in Spring. It isn’t breathtaking, like Magnolia or other gardens; we don’t have Spanish moss to give the low-country effect, but there are few homes you can pass and not see some kind of flowers in the yard. * • * Margaret Hunter Park is al ways beautiful, in the spring months, and a more perfect setting for the Easter Sunrise Service could hardly have been chosen. By the way, if you can sing—just so you can car ry a tune—the music commit tee of the Sunrise service would like for you to help with the Easter music. An outdoor re hearsal will be held at the park Sunday afternoon at three o’clock. REVOLUTIONARY HEROES ENSHRINED Burial grounds of five Pal metto state patriots are now be ing restored as historic shrines by the S. C. state commission of forestry through its division of state parks. Improvement work, which began last fall, is progressing satisfactorily. A few of the areas are almost in accessible by car at present due to weather conditions. The pub lic is invited to visit these his- toris areas at any time, the commission has announced. The resting place of Col. Isaac Hayne is located in an attrac tive live-oak family burial ground which was formerly in the garden of the family home one mile west of U. S. highway 17 fourteen miles north of Wal terboro. Thomas Heyward, Jr., lawyer, statesman and patriot, was a signer of the Declaration of In dependence. He is buried in the garden of his ancestral home, four miles east of Ridge- land just south of the junction ' of S. C. highway 128 and S. C. highway 170. General Francis Marion, com monly known • as the “Swamp Fox”, because of his warfare in the swamps of coastal South Carolina during the revolution, is buried on the shores of Lake Marion, the upper hydro-electric lake of the Santee Cooper sys tem. His burial place may be reached by proceeding west from Pineville on S. C. high way 45 for four miles, turning to the right, and traveling about one mile. General Thomas Sumter lived and died among the “High hills of Santee” about four miles to the east of the Wateree River and he lies at rest in the garden near “The Home House”, the home of his son Thomas Sum ter, Jr. The burial grounds can be reached by proceeding north through Stateburg from U. S. highway 76 on S. C. state high way 441 about four miles 'and turning to the right about two miles on a county road. General Andrew Pickens was bom the 13th of September 1739. He was a Christian, pa triot and soldier. His body lies in a family plot at the Old Stone church and cemetery on S. C. highway 289 about 3 miles from Clemson. The forestry commission is now in the process of restoring, beautifying, marking, and main taining these historical spots in keeping with the native sur roundings in which they are situated. Easter Seal Sale To Begin Today The Newberry Chapter of the Crippled Children’s Society of South Carolina is beginning to day the Easter Seal Campaign. Rev. H. C. Ritter is Chairman of the local chapter. The quota for Newberry county is $2000. Easter Seals bring special services to crippled children in. our County and State. They provide medical care, wheel chairs, artificial appliances, bed side teaching, summer camping, training for a job—in short a chance to be “like other kids”. Last year the Newberry County Chapter provided special care for a number of crippled children. Four crippled chil dren were taught at hdme by public school teachers, one child received a wheel chair, one child received two opera tions, three children were sent to summer camp, and other children given medicines and medical care.
